Light It Up

Annie Schlechter

We love a primary bathroom that’s just as glam–if not more so–than the rest of the house. In this Florida abode, ELLE DECOR A-Lister Rodney Lawrence created drama by adding a chandelier that frames both the walk-in shower and the Waterworks tub.

Glitz and Glam

Joshua McHugh

There’s a sense of Art Deco razzle-dazzle to this walk-in shower by Cochineal Design, which is part of an equally chic New York City apartment. The pairing of Clé tiles with gold hardware and marble is inspired; the light pink walls bring a bit of softness to the space.

Try a Tile

Alanna Hale

A great way to introduce more color into your bathroom is with a fun tile, in this case, a cool-toned blue juxtaposed with a minty green. ELLE DECOR A-Lister Jessica Davis deftly mixes these hues to create a serene, ’70s-esque bath in a family home in Northern California.

5

Mirror, Mirror

Ricardo Labougle

Obviously all bathrooms should have at least one mirror, but this one in the Rio de Janeiro home of ELLE DECOR A-Lister Juliana Lima Vasconcellos takes that motif a step further with reflective cabinets and chrome. Pair with white marble for a tranquil look and feel.

Patterns on Patterns

Douglas Friedman

Layering different patterns and textures can immediately make a space more interesting–case in point, this bathroom by interior design firm Carlos David.

Cool Blue

Stone Splendor

Thomas Loof

White marble is a bathroom staple, but we love when a home features a bolder stone. Interior designer Richard Mishaan covered this space–walk-in shower included–with Cassiopeia from ABC Stone for maximum intrigue.

Go Gold

Lofty Ambitions

Stephen Kent Johnson

It’s no secret that spacious digs can be hard to come by in major cities like New York, so a stylish, roomy place to rinse off in a tristate abode will definitely make our list of bathroom must-haves. Situated in interior designer Todd Raymond’s breezy loft in SoHo, this gray travertine walk-in shower adds warm, earthy tones to a neutral, light-filled room.

A Marble Moment

Douglas Friedman

Why settle for just one stone surface when you can have all of them? In this art-filled San Francisco home by ELLE DECOR A-Lister Nicole Hollis, the bathroom is swathed in a gorgeous veined marble—from the tub and counters to the shower and flooring. Want to get the look? Everything you see here is Arabescato Corchia marble by Vaselli for Elementi.

Make Yourself at Home

Douglas Friedman

Bathrooms tend to have a certain look or feel to them, from the stone counters to the tiled walls and chrome fixtures. ELLE DECOR A-Lister Ken Fulk wanted to buck that trend with this home in Northern California, which features a primary that feels a bit more unique, as if it were any other room in the house. We especially love the Moorish arches for the custom walk-in shower—a motif that’s echoed in the vanity mirror.

Bring the Drama

Sometimes it pays to take the minimalist route and let the architecture speak for itself. In this Capri home by architect Giuliano Andrea dell’Uva, the sweeping arches create a sculptural, less-is-more walk-in shower unlike any other.

Under the Sea

Read McKendree

Colorful glass tiles? Sign us up! Interior design firm White Webb brought an array of sea-foam green and turquoise to this walk-in shower, creating an effect similar to fish (or mermaid) scales.

Neutral Palette

By Simona Ganea | Updated on

Walk-in showers are elegant and functional for any bathroom. Whether you also have a bathtub or just this area, your décor will be functional and chic.

It will also give your bathroom a modern appeal and it will give you the possibility to efficiently use the space you have available. Get creative or find some inspiration somewhere else. We have selected five designs to get you started.

How much does it cost to put in a walk-in shower?

The cost of installing a walk-in shower can range quite widely, thanks to the variety of choices for materials, doors and accessories. In general, it costs between $2,500 and $15,000 to add a walk-in shower. Most homeowners feel that it’s worth the expense for the superior showering experience a walk-in shower can provide.

Any walk-in shower will require some parts and labor that are needed for any type of bathroom installation, but you also need to take into consideration any demolition costs associated with your particular remodeling project. 

Installation is the biggest cost

Unless you are very experienced with construction, In general, installing a walk-in shower is not a DIY project. The cost of experienced labor will be your biggest outlay. This will also vary: If you’re putting in an acrylic prefab shower, the cost will be far less than a custom tiled walk-in shower.

Also, getting rid of any old fixture or shower and prepping the space for the new one can tack anywhere from $1,200 to $7,000 to the total. After that, according to Bath Planet, your individual choices for each of the components will drive the cost.

Accessories

Yes, we’re starting with the extras because these are what will make the showering experience special. You’ll want to factor in the cost of having features like rainfall, lighted or massaging showerheads, as well as multiple showerheads. A walk-in shower should also have at least one hand-held shower head for easier cleaning of the shower as well as yourself! The costs for these items – in addition to any extra plumbing – can range from budget friendly styles to more luxurious high-end fixtures.

The Surround

This is the material that is used to protect the wall and keep the water in the shower space. This is where your choice will have a serious impact on cost because basic tile in a variety of colors and designs can be as little as $5.00 per square foot. On the other hand, the very trendy large stone slab tile can be as much as $100 or more per square foot. In between those two extremes is a wide range of porcelain, stone and glass tiling that can work for your walk-in shower. The cost of installing new tile for the shower can be as little as $1,800 and as much as $7,000 or more. If you’re just replacing wall and floor tiles, the cost is much lower $1,000 to $3,000.

The Size and Shape

The bigger your walk-in shower, the more it will cost because more surround materials are needed, more labor is required, etc. The layout matters too, because if you can fit the shower in a corner and have a straight front, you’ll save a good amount of money because this is the cheapest design.

The Doors

While you can certainly use a shower curtain with a walk-in shower, most homeowners opt to install shower doors. A large number of styles are available – we sum them all up for you in this article – and each one will vary in cost. Sliding doors are the cheapest and can be as little as $300, while frameless paneled doors sell for around $900. Another option, if you have the space, is a style that does not need a door at all.

Is a walk-in shower worth it?

The answer to this question can vary depending on the bathroom situation in your home and why you want a walk-in shower.  

What is the difference between a shower stall and a walk-in shower?

There’s a bit of a disconnect between what a walk-in shower really is and what people think it is. We’ve been talking about a walk-in shower being  stand-alone shower without a tub, but actually, there’s a little more to it. Technically, a true walk-in shower has no door or curtain, or enclosure. There’s also no curb or ledge to step over.  

Nonetheless, most people consider a walk-in shower one that doesn’t have a tub and is enclosed somehow. This is actually a shower stall, which has either framed or unframed glass panels and door. As you might imagine, this style works better for bathrooms that have limited space, while a true walk-in style without doors requires far more space. The enclosed style is generally the most popular, in large part because it’s more affordable and fits into an average home.

How much does a tiled walk-in shower cost?

Homeowners are shifting away from sunken jetted tubs in favor of larger tiled walk-in showers, according to Lamont Brothers.  We’ve already identified that a walk-in shower costs roughly from $2,500 to $15,000, with tiled versions being more expensive because they are generally custom. There are a number of components that go into a tiled shower, and each one can affect the total cost.

Shower Pan

This is essentially the floor of the shower, and there are basically three different types:

Tile

There’s an endless array of options for tile and you can generally go as small or large as you like for the shower walls. It’s important to keep in mind that the smaller tiles will have a more traditional look while large-scale styles tend to look more modern. Lamont Brothers says that the most popular size is 12×24. The shower wall is where you can be creative with decorative tiles or mosaic designs, if that’s something that you like.

You will also need to choose tile for the floor and the type of shower pan you chose may dictate the size of tiles. If you have a threshold, smaller tiles will be required than if you have no threshold, which can accommodate larger sizes.

Shower fixtures

Choosing shower fixtures is another are where can have a lot of fun creating your shower experience. It’s important to know what types of fixtures you want and what your budget is because prices go from budget to budget-busting. That said, a number of fixtures are required for a walk-in shower>

What is the best material for a walk-in shower?

The main considerations for choosing a material for your walk-in shower are ease of maintenance and durability. When it comes to style, you’ll find loads of options, but by defining your priorities for the shower surfaces, you can narrow down the choices. It’s critical to remember that the shower sees a lot of use and it has to be durable and leak-proof. You want to choose long-lasting, durable and quality materials that will perform for the long haul.

Stone and tile are the most durable options and, as noted above, a huge range of looks and prices is available. 

When it comes to the floor of a walk-in shower, you have other considerations too: The presence of a ledge, ease of cleaning and maintenance and being non-slip in nature are the most important. For tile, smaller porcelain tiles are a good choice as are a pebble style floor or sealed stone.

What are good dimensions for a walk-in shower?

Honestly, a walk-in shower can be almost any size, large or small, depending on the space you have available, and that is the key determinant for how big you can go. At a minimum, the shower has to have enough room to comfortably move around in when showering as well as to hold some toiletry products.

According to code

Local building codes and plumbing requirements will likely dictate the minimum size of your walk-in shower. In general, the smallest of a walk-in shower should be at least 32 inches by 32 inches. The average size, however, is typically larger: 67 inches by 28 inches. That said, the shower will be more comfortable if you can add to the width. Sources say that the average person will feel comfortable in a shower that is about 48″ x 36, but recommendations would be for of 60’’ x 36’’ if possible.

Floor Space

The size of the space you have available will dictate the shower size. You don’t want an expansive shower at the expense of other essential bathroom features nor do you want to make the traffic pattern in the bathroom difficult. The size of the shower also has to take into account the slope required to move water to the drain efficiently.

Accessibility

An accessible walk-in shower needs to comply with requirements set out in the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) requirements. Walk-in showers need to be about five feet in both directions to accommodate a wheelchair and cannot have a ledge at the entry. Even if no one in your home currently has mobility issues, it could help resale to incorporate this in your design if you have the space.

Is it better to have a shower door or curtain?

In most cases, homeowners who install a walk-in shower opt for shower doors instead of a shower curtain. Of course, this too is up to personal preferences and budget. You’ll also want to weigh the pros and cons of each option.

Shower Doors

Hands down, shower doors have a more high-end look than a shower curtain because at the very least, they make the bathroom appear larger. Many styles of shower doors are available to fit your particular style of bathroom.

Pros

  • Shower doors are easy to clean.
  • They don’t deteriorate with time.
  • Completely block water from splashing out of the shower.
  • Help contain the steam in the shower area.

Cons

  • They are expensive and can easily cost $1,000 and more.
  • Anything other than standard sizes will cost more.
  • Glass requires regular daily attention to look its best.
  • All your shower products are visible to anyone who uses the bathroom.

Shower Curtains

Many homeowners opt for shower curtains instead of installing doors, most often for budgetary reasons, but there are other benefits and drawbacks to consider.

Pros

  • Shower curtains can cost less than a tenth of what most shower doors cost.
  • Curtains can be more visually appealing thanks to colors and prints available.
  • They can soften the hard lines typical of bathroom designs.

Cons

  • Shower curtain liners will need to be replaced every few months.
  • If not positioned properly with the liner inside the tub, water can spray out into the bathroom.
  • Most shower curtain liners are plastic, are made from PVC, a fossil-fuel-derived material that some consider toxic.
  • Fabric liners can billow out and stick to your wet body.

Types of Shower Doors

We’ve been talking about shower doors as it they are all one kind, but there are numerous kinds that you can consider using for your walk-n shower.

A frameless shower door is essentially one panel that is hinged and opens out into the bathroom. This style has a clean, modern look and is quite durable. The glass is about 3/4-inches thick, which means that they are rather heavy  but also easy to operate.

A frameless shower enclosure is ideal for a large bathroom because it preserves the spacious feeling and is a great modern look. These can be constructed in any shape to fit your bathroom.

Bi-fold shower doors are a functional option for a small bathroom or one that has a limited area for the shower. They are just like bifold closet doors that slide and fold up, requiring less space than regular doors that open outward.

Curved glass shower doors allow you to have a walk-in shower in a smaller space because the curve adds some room to the interior of the shower.

Sliding shower doors can be a good option for smaller space that does not have room for a door that opens outward.  Like most all other sliding doors, there are two glass panels that slide along a track in both directions.

Frosted glass doors or clear glass doors are a personal choice. Functionally they are all the same, but frosted glass provides a little privacy while still letting light filter in. Frosted glass shower doors can be a good option for a large household where total privacy on the bathroom may be questionable. The same holds true for tinted glass doors.

Walk-In Shower Design Ideas

1. Glass-enclosed shower.

Achieve a spa feeling lookUse glass in combination with light colors to create a bright and open designSave space with a corner shower and use glass for a less invasive lookGlass-enclosed en-suite showers eliminate the barriers between the spacesUse glass for the shower walls to let light filter through and to create an airy look

If you want to create a seamless transition between the shower area and the rest of the bathroom, transparent glass is the perfect materials to help you with that. In this example the shower is encased in floor-to-ceiling glass panels. Inside there’s a bench and small, practical shelves mounted on the wall. The oversized showerhead is an interesting statement element.

2. Light-filled shower.

Consider including a window in the shower to allow light insideAttic walk in shower featuring natural light

A window in the bathroom, regardless of its dimensions, can make a huge difference. It’s an especially beautiful addition in the shower. The sensation that you get when you see and feel the light embrace you is unique. Of course, a skylight would be even better. The shower will be bathed in natural light and will have an almost divine look. The decorations you choose for this space can also make a big difference.

3. Shower and steam room in one space.

Make sure you include a bench or two for maximum comfortHaving the tub in the shower is an interesting idea that works great in this caseModern steam shower with glass walls and a built-in benchSame space for both!

A designer shower enclosures walk-in and a steam generator can be combined to create your very own steam room. It’s a simple way of making your own spa. The amenities are critical is this case. It would be wise to include a small window that can be opened when you use the shower alone to let the air circulate. You’ll be able to use this space both as a regular shower and a steam room and you can enjoy relaxing moments right there in your own home.

4. Small shower unit.

If you have a small bathroom you can still have the walk-in shower you wanted without sacrificing too much space. It would simply be a smaller version of the ones presented previously. To avoid making the bathroom feel cramped you can opt for simple lines and materials such as glass that would ensure a seamless transition. In this case, the frameless shower door was a clever choice.

5. Private spa.

To create a spa-like feel in your bathroom you have to use the right materials and texturesConsider having a wooden shower floor and adding a chandelier for styleMosaic tiles!

If you have the space and resources, you can take these ideas one step further and create your own spa. In this example we have a beautiful and spacious spa-like shower with a limestone bench and white and black mosaic tiles. A wall niche ensures the storage space needed for the usual products used in the shower and a large window lets in lots of natural light.

Modern trend – round shower.

Make the shower the focal point of the décor and let it stand out on its own

Perhaps one of the most important elements to take into consideration, the shape of the walk-in shower can be the detail that defines your whole design. Round showers tend to look more glamorous, especially if they’re encased in glass. However, a round shower is not ideal for small bathrooms.

Nature-inspired.

An eclectic shower brings nature inside and takes advantage of its organic beauty

Perhaps you’d like to feel closer to nature when you’re taking a shower, in which case you should consider using materials like stone and wood. Try a combination of materials and make sure you use the contrasts to your advantage, to create a unique design. You could have stone or river stones on the floor and use wood as a decorative feature.

Open.

By eliminating the dividing walls, the bathrooms becomes more cohesive and harmonious

Maybe you’re used with showers being encased in glass or having curtains and dividing walls to separate them from the rest of the bathrooms. Although that’s the case in most homes, such features are not strictly necessary. You can also have an open shower and this will make the room feel more spacious.

Indoor-outdoor combo.

You should include similarities between the two showers, like these flowers for example

Consider placing the indoor and outdoor showers side by side. Allow them to communicate with each other through glass walls and create a connection between them. This way light get in and illuminates the indoor shower area and the outdoor one feels less out of place and more comfortable.

Luxury shower.

The shower floor looks like it’s covered with pennies and similar accents are used on the walls

It’s hard to say what makes a shower look luxurious. It’s a combination between the materials used, the finishes, the colors and the overall ambiance. A luxury walk-in shower has no visual defects. Everything it perfectly aligned and there’s always one element that puts it over the top.

Benefits of Walk-in showers

It’s not just the stylish design that makes walk-in showers so versatile and popular. There are numerous other benefits that they offer. For example:

Walk-in showers are both safer and easier to use. This makes them more user-friendly than tubs or regular showers, especially in the case of kids, elderly people or those with medical issues.

They are wheelchair-accessible, which allows them to stand out as superior compared to tubs or other types of showers.

Apart from being minimalist and elegant, they also offer extra space in the bathroom. Because of their simplicity and straight-forward design, they allow the room to be more airy and bright.

It’s also this simplicity that also makes walk-in showers easier to clean. Because they have fewer parts and areas where grime and dirt can accumulate, they reduce the risk of having mold in the corners or a look that’s not pure.

In addition, fewer parts in general means that there are fewer elements that can break and this makes walk-in shower particularly durable. This is also due to the fact that they are made of durable and think materials designed to make them safe to use.

Walk-in showers also offers versatility in terms of design. They can customized in numerous different ways and outfitted with lots of different features, types of doors, etc.

The general structure and design of a walk-in shower is created so that it traps vapors inside. This means there’s less potential damage which can be caused to the walls, especially if they’re made of wood. Also, mold is less likely to appear.

It goes without saying that if you want your shower to look in a specific way or to have specific proportions you should choose a custom design. There are many inspiring custom designs out there, like this one which is completely enclosed in glass and has a sleek and modern appearance. It blends in with the rest of the bathroom and allows it to maintain a very airy look even though it takes up quite a bit of space. This is part of a beautiful residence designed by studio Architrend Architecture.

We mentioned before that it’s not always necessary for a shower to have a door or to be fully enclosed. This is a lovely example. This is an open walk-in shower with tiled walls that frame it and help it stand out and look like a separate section of the bathroom. It’s a modern design by studio Rina Lovko, one which perfectly mimics the style and color palette featured in the other areas of the house.

A small shower can fit in a variety of different types of spaces and you can even have the area surrounding it modeled around it. This is a master bathroom in a penthouse designed by FORM design architecture and it features a shower and a toilet enclosure positioned side by side for a symmetrical look.

Marble tiles look wonderful in showers. They give it an elegant and timeless look and they go really well with transparent glass enclosures because they’re not concealed and you have a continuous and harmonious bathroom décor without needing a lot of floor space. You can find inspiration in this stylish bathroom interior by October Design Studio.

Subway tiles also look great on shower walls. Here you can see a small bathroom which features white subway tiles in the shower as well as on the backsplash wall while everything else is plain and simple. It’s a nice way to add some detail to a small room without complicating it too much. This was one as part of a renovation by studio RM \ Architecture.

Speaking of simple bathroom designs, this one is a beautiful example. It has plain white walls without visible patterns except on one and the shower is positioned in a corner lengthwise, leaving enough room next to it for other features. It has a rectangular glass enclosure which suits the overall contemporary style of the room perfectly. The design is done by studio ghiroldidesign.

Here’s a small bathroom designed by architect Anca Ionescu. It’s a typical size for an apartment which means there’s not enough space for both a tub and a shower. As a result, a combo was the perfect compromise. The glass divider acts as an enclosure but still keeps the area open for a bright and airy look.

When space is not an issue, that’s when you can truly have the shower of your dreams. It could look simple, similar to the one designed by architect Stuart Silk but it can be customized with various extra features like wall nooks for storage, hydro massage and so on. We love the use of white marble tiles to give this minimalistic shower a distinguished look.

If you want a bit of glitz and glamour into your life how about a classic, Hollywood-inspired bathroom like the one designed by Stylt Trampoli. It has such an eye-catching look without being overwhelming or overly decorated. The mesh shower wall and the mirrors really help to bring it together and the purple ceiling is the cherry on top.

A monochromatic palette can also look beautiful in a bathroom, especially if you want to put an emphasis on its simplicity and spaciousness. This one has a minimalistic walk-in shower custom designed to fit in the corner by the vanity which opens up the room quite a lot. This is part of an interior designed by studio OOOOX.

Enclosed shower cabins in the bathroom / Closed and open shower cabin, photo report

A closed shower is a classic option that you can find in all stores. Such a hydrobox has full and modern functionality and will be able to satisfy all the requests that you make to this equipment.

Benefits of a closed box

We note right away that the practicality and versatility of a closed shower requires much more space in the bathroom. It is a complete device for hygiene procedures, which is sealed from all sides. This model has a back wall and a ceiling, which cannot be said about an open-type shower, and this increases its dimensions several times.

Usually closed cabins are much more expensive than simpler ones, but you can find affordable models among them, especially if they are made in China.

Cabins with a roof, despite their bulkiness, can be configured in different ways. Even if your bathroom is small, you can easily find a small cabin that fits in harmoniously.

First of all, it concerns quarter-circle booths. This shower enclosure has only two walls and a semicircular front panel. It can be installed in the corner of the bathroom, in which it fits perfectly. But a quarter circle can be quite a boring shape in terms of functionality.

If the room allows you to purchase a model of large dimensions, do not deny yourself a square or rectangular box. They are often feature rich. The dimensions of the shower room can vary: from 70x70 cm to 80x120 cm and even more. There are closed showers for two persons, which are very spacious and pleasant.

Rich functionality

Buying closed shower enclosures, be sure that this is a real treasure that will turn hygiene procedures into a pleasant pastime with a healing effect. First of all, this applies to multifunctional cabins.

For example, horizontal hydromassage. How and with what help is it carried out? In hydroboxes that support this function, there are many nozzles with which water is supplied. They are located both on the pallet and on the sides. Hydromassage is carried out by means of water jets and air bubbles, which are supplied with a certain force and in a certain order.

Why is hydromassage good? It perfectly fights tension, improves blood circulation, breaks down sebum, which means it fights cellulite.

But do not forget that there is also a vertical hydromassage. It is a water jet that exits through nozzles on the walls of the shower. Thus, there is a massage of the whole body.

But hydromassage isn't all you can enjoy in an enclosed shower.

Turkish bath is a great opportunity to spend time with benefits for body and soul. This function has only a closed shower, which has a steam generator. The shower tray has a special flask through which steam escapes. And if you pour aroma oil into it, then in addition to the bath you will also receive aromatherapy. The hydrobox with a steam generator has a fan that distributes the created steam evenly throughout the shower.

A rain shower is another prerogative that only a closed shower has. It is a roof attachment that, when turned on, creates a rain effect inside the cabin. With this feature, you can relax after a hard day and fall asleep easily and quickly. Recommended to all city dwellers.

What other benefits does a closed shower cubicle have? Chromotherapy. This is a very useful option, which consists in light treatment. Cabins with this function have LEDs in the ceiling that color the water in different colors. The procedure perfectly restores nerves and relaxes the body. A contrast shower and ventilation are other features that elevate the shower cabin to the rank of a real treasure for a city dweller.

Features of the control

Closed cab most often has electronic control. There is no simple shower corner - it has manual control.

Electronic control is a regulator that turns functions on and off by pressing its buttons. In this case, there is no need to turn the taps.

Although an expensive model may have manual control, or in other words, mechanical. Maybe it is not modern, but it certainly will not fail.

Electronic control - this, by the way, is also not the most modern control system. Touch control is very popular, but expensive. It involves an electronic display, touching which you activate the necessary options for the shower cabin.

It is worth noting that in the combined cabin, in which the shower is combined with the bath, there is a remote control. Indeed, sometimes, in order to adjust the temperature or turn on the radio, one is too lazy to get out of the bathroom and press something on the panel. Of the latest innovations that the manufacturer is ready to provide, one can name voice control.

What to look for In addition to the rich functionality, the pallet also distinguishes the closed cabin. In simple showers, it may simply not be. Although, if desired, in closed cabins you can remove it or purchase a very low pallet. This option is suitable for families with elderly people. But if you have a child in your house, then it is better, of course, to purchase a shower cabin, the tray of which is deep. According to experts, the best material from which a pallet can be made is artificial stone. Advice for those who are not used to counting money. The most economical and decent option is an acrylic pallet.

As for the material of which the doors and walls are made, frosted glass will be just right. It looks great and is durable.

Select doors according to the dimensions of the room. Sliding are more ergonomic, but they can quickly fail if the guide breaks. Swing doors are good for a spacious bathroom. However, if they open inward, then you can also save space.

When buying a cabin, of course, everything matters. But no additional features will benefit if the manufacturer is not reliable. And here it doesn’t matter anymore whether the control is manual or electronic, the shape is a quarter circle or rectangular. Quality and a well-known brand are important here. The manufacturer must give you a guarantee.
